Pensions, THE GRAND ARMY AND THE
PRESIDENT

In the early spring The TRIBUNE asked
the Union veterans for frank expression OF
their views on the sub Get of pensions. The
volunteer Spokesman Of the Administration
had assumed to speak for the soldiers. and il
seemed to US worth while TO let the soldiers
speak for themselves Their responses are
now appearing in THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE in
great numbers, and large instalment Of them
is reproduced in this edition. The question
of pensions can never be decided Alright by
those who had no sympathy with the suppress
sion of rebellion. nor could such persons be
expected to know in what manner other ques-
tons involving the pride and the interests Of
the soldiers ought TO be approached. When
this is borne in mind it is not perhaps sur
pFising that President Cleveland should have
failed TO comprehend how grossly the inn
putatons in his pension vctoes insulted tho
loyal veterans, or what an affront he put upon
them when he ordered the rebel flags to he
restored to g the Confederate States or how
wantonly he impugned their honor and their
manhood when, In backing out of his st. Louis
engagement, he talked about threats of in
suit and violence What conception had he

that years Of active service undermined the
constitution of most soldiers so completely
and so broke down their health, even when
they were not crippled by wounds or by dan
gcrous forms Of disease. that they were never
after able to endure the same fatigue or strain
as those who had not been thus exposed? 1t
was not in the nature of President Cleveland to
know that few Union veterans returned with
half the power of endurance and Of toll which
those of the same age enjoyed who had stayed
at home and sent substitutes.
Neither was it in him to know that xhe vet
Gran, after four or five years of complete with
drawal from peaceful labors, had lost his apti-
tude in work, his skill In handicraft, his knowl
edge of the latest and best methods. The
ways Of work had been changed intellectually
by tho progress Of arts and sciences. the use Of
new inventions and the increasing division Of
labor. and at NO time in our history more rap

idly than during the four years Of war. Other
men, staying at home, had perfected themselves
in all these changes, in the use of new methods
and tools, and with even equal constitutions
were more than a match for most veterans
who returned after four years OF absence.
Add to this the fact that the veteran rarely
brought back constitution not weakened by
exposure and hardship and 1t viii not seem
strange that many Veterans failed ever to get
foothold in profitable industry after the war.

machines and tools.
with the Union cause during the great struggle
was fresh and keen, forget the suffering and
the privation Of the wives and children who
were left behind They suffered, too, and
hosts of noble women found themselves I'M
fitted for hard work by the trials and hard
ships, the anxieties and sufferings Of those
dark years. The President cannot comprehend
how all these things entitled the loyal veterans
to more kindly and liberal repayment by the
Nation whose existence and honor they saved.
He cannot understand that, whatever action
affecting their interests he may consider him
self in conscience bound to take, it is his duty.
as it ought to be his pleasure to express his
convictions with the most scrupulous and deli
cate regard for their feelings, and with an
ever-present sense Of their sulferlngs, hard-
ships ard achievements.

The chief ambition of Commissioner Black is
apparently to "boom" himself for the Vice-Pres-
idency or some other Office of more dignity than
the one he now holds. One of the methods
adopted by him is to send out statements
showing the enormous amount of work done by
the Pension Office under his direction. How
the Office is worked to make good showing
for him and how the statements are really mis-
leading and false is indicated in Washington

Jacksonville NeiUs: From the present
ferry landing to point about 700 feet to-
wards Grassy Point, is located the mill
property recently purchased by Mr. Flag
Ter. His piece Of land runs back about 800
feet, and it is understood that Mr. Flagier's
intentions are to tear down the mill and
build a steamship dock for the Clyde line TO
land freight for ST. Augustine. The river
frontage will he bulkheated and the mill
now standing will be used Until sufficient
lumber is turned out TO build the dock.
After this has been done it is expected that
the railway track of the st. Augustine road
will be extended and the ferry land
ing changed TO the foot of Orange
street. This is where the old
landing was and the place has been used as
a public ferry wharf for a number OF wears,
BY doing this the route between the two
ferry slips will be considerably shortened and
much time saved. Mr.. Flagler will do for
